Major w. Id. Strickland.

Holly Springs South.
We are informed from a reliable source
that the gentleman whose names appears
above, will be presented to Gov. Lowry for
appointment to the position of Circuit
Judge of this District. We have known
Major Strickland for many years. He has
been leading member of this bar for a
long time, and he stands in the front rank
of his profession. There is no man in
Mississippi who would fill the position
with more dignity or ability. Major
Strickland is man of great purity of
character, profound lawyer and the judi
cial ermine would be worn gracefully and
fttingly by him. We do not think that
we exaggerate when we say that no man
in the State has performed more active
work for the Democratic party and has re-
ceived less than Major Strickland. He
has never thrust himself forward for any
position He has been frequently urged
to accept Office, but has always declined 20
be in the way of Others, and has never
received any reward at the hands of a
party that he has served Sc faithfully a
lifetime. Capt. FAINT and Major Striek-
land being both citizens of Marshall county
and both eninently qualified for the posi-
ton to which they aspire, and both being
Democrats true and tried, the South can
take no part in contest between them.

LEINKAUF & Strauss, ct al.
Appeal from the Chancery Court of Clay.
county. Hon. w. NJ. Rogers, Judge
White & Fox, for the appellant.
Fred. Beall, for the appellee.
Leinkauf & Strauss sued out writ Of
attachment against one T. G. Smith, and
caused the same to be levied on a GER
tain stock of goods. The sheriff who ex-
ecuted the writ required Leinkauf &
Strauss to give him an indemnifying
bond in the usual form, conditioned
that they would indemnify the sheriff
or any claimant against any loss arising
from the seizure, etc, of the goods. }.
Z. Brinker interposed a claim to the
goods, and On the trial of that issue sue
ceeded. Thereupon he began this &C
ton against the principal and sureties
In the bond to recover damages.
The declaration in the statement of
damages demands $500 attorneys fees
paid out in defending plaintiffs claim to
the goods levied on under the attach
ment, and 5000 fof hotel bills paid out,
and as compensation for loss of time
occasioned by plaintiffs attendance on
the trial of the claimants issue. 1t is
not charged in the declaration that there
was any fraud, willful wrong or oppres
sion in the levying of the attachment on
the goods in question. The defendants
demurred to the declaration, and the
demurrer was sustained The plaintiff
declined to amend, and judgment final
was entered up for the defendants. The
plaintiff appealed.
COOPER, C. j., delivered the opinion of
the Court.
The demurrer was properly sustained.
The damages which by their bond the
appellees bound themselves to pay to the
appellant we're such as should result
from the seizure of the goods, and did
not include attorneys fees nor other
expenses incurred by the applicant in
defending his title TO the property.
Staufer .. Garrison, Oh Miss, 81.
In BdggeH q. Beard, 43 Miss, 120, it |
was held that attorneys fees were re-
coverable upon an injunction bond, and
that decision as to that character of
bond has been since followed. To de-
cline to give the same construction to |
bonds substantially the same given in
other matters produces want of harmony
in our decisions, but it is well settled |
that in actions of replevin, in the abb
sence of fraud, willful wrong or oppres
sion, attorneys fees cannot be recovered. |
In any event there will not be uniform
ity of construction upon obligations |
practically the same, and believing that
the decisions against the liability of the |
obligors in the bond for attorneys fees
and collateral damages pronounce the
true rule, we will adhere to it except as
precluded by the decisions relative to
Injunction bonds. Judgment affirmed

The Biggest Congressman.
George T. Barnes,
REPRESENTATIVE FROM GEORGIA.

George T. Barnes has been reelected
to Congress, and probably will be the
most conspicuous figure of the Fiftieth
as he is of the Forty ninth House of
Representatives at Washington. He
is popular in the Capital city, and
thought so much of by his constituents,
the voters of the Tenth District of
Georgia, that it Is believed his seat
will be solid for INN Just as long as he
shall please to occupy 1t. Mr.. Barnes
is not absolutely alone in the magni-
tude of his person, among the legisla-
tors of the Union, but he leads them all
in ponderosity, tipping the scales at over
three hundred pounds. This man OF vast
bulk is one of the brightest takers IN
the House, humorous and witty he
is we'll equipped in knowledge OF law
and history, and a useful Legislator.
His brain is big as well as his Drawn,
and nobody who knows him can ques-
ton his big-heartedness.
Born in 1913, Mr.. Barnes Is IN the
prime of life. He is native OF Rlch-
mond County, Georgia. and resides at
Augusta. After having taken a
preparatory course In the Academy
nearest his home, he became student
at Franklin College, University. OF
Georgia, where he was graduated In
1853. He read law and was enrolled
ON the list of Georgia attorneys bis
professional career has been steadily
successful. In 1860 he was elected o
member of the House of Representa-
tives of his State. This and succeeding
elections gave him five years, continu.
ous service in that capacity. For eight
wears beginning with 1876 he was .
member of the National Democratic
COMMITTEES from Georgia His honors
as Federal statesman, began with his
election to the Forty-ninth Congress, Il
which he was returned by an enormous
majority. He received 9.166 votes
against /, OFT for the chief of the op
posing candidates. He is, IS matter
Of course. q member of the Democratic
party, to which he has always beer
loyalty attached.

No Wasteful Armaments.

The new navy should be built slowly,
deliberately and wisely. The best and
most useful types of naval architecture
should be selected, and the development
of this arm of the service should be
gradual and well-proportioned. Well.
digested schemes of harbor defence are
required, and millions of treasure should
not be squandered on what may prove
within the next ten years to be an ill
advised and futile system. 1t will be
the easiest thing in the world to waste
money in building rams, twenty knot
cruisers, and vessels for harbor defence.
All work of this kind should be done
with deliberation year by year, and no
Administration, whether Democratic or
Republican, should be armed with un
limited discretion and enormous appro-
priations. There should be no wasteful
ornaments.

taken to a verdict somewhat similar to
the one in this case, and Chief Justice
Robertson, speaking for the court, said
truly, 1.-THE Judge who would not enter
Judgment on such a verdict, would
scarcely, if ever, find a jury able to
write verdict in language so explicit,
technical and exact, as to suit the fastid-
iousness of his judicial taste or conquer
the skepticism of his learned head"
Error is assigned on the action of the
court in giving certain instructions for
the State, but there is no evidence In
the record, and as it cannot be said OF
the instructions given, that in no state
of case could they be proper, we cannot
disturb the judgment on that account.

An entertaining article on "Dueling in
Paris is one of the strong features of the
March HARPER's. 1t is written by q
Partisan authority, Theodore Child, and is
capitally illustrated by Partisan artist,
Henri Dupray. Mr.. Child claims that
s.never has the rapier been held in higher
honor in France than at the present day !;
never has the art of fencing been taught
with more science, and learned with
greater avidity; and perhaps never since
the time of Richelieu and the Fronde has
dueling been more common in France In
spite of the successive and severe edicts of
Henry w., Cardinal Richelieu, and Louis
XIV. in spite of the eloquent condemna-
ton OF Rousseau and Voltaire, in spite of
the prohibition of law and of religion,
dueling has remained since the sixteenth
century, not only tolerated, but approved
by public opinion The explanation of
this Characteristic distinguishing France
from all other nations, is said to be the
proverbial sensitiveness of the French
sense of honor, the survival of the combat
i've phase of chivalry, and the national
trait to which Montague referred when he
wrote, .Put three Frenchmen together in
the deserts OF Libya, and before month
has passed they will be tearing each others
ewes OUT The modern French code o1
honor is mentioned which allows the
slightest offence to provoke duel, and
makes fight with rapiers or pistols obi
gstory upon every journalist and politi.
clan. Gambetta's famous duel with n
De Fourton Is for the first time fully and
| faithfully narrated. One Of the illustra

Excitement in Texas

Great excitement has been caused in the

recovery of Mr.. J. E. Corley, who was so

Kings New Discovery was sent him.
Finding relief, he bous hit large bottle and
